haircut Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I was getting a haircut at a new Japanese hair salon near London Bridge, and being the diligent photographer that I am, I had my camera with me and started taking photos of me getting a haircut and the other people cutting hair in the salon. I had to use auto focus and hope my aim was OK and take a shot back at myself.

Click here to see a photo from further out where you can see me holding the camera and shooting into the mirror for that one.

I also posted a painting I made of another shot I took there on the Trek Lens site.

The salon is Malishi Hair Design, a new salon, and Mariko, the stylist in the photo, does a great job, but she can't help that I look pretty porky from this POV. (Who am I kidding, I look porky from any POV ;-))

Nice idea you had ! Both of you look quite natural on this shot. Technically the picture is far from perfect but in some sense this conveys an impression of spontaneity.
Thanks for sharing and for taking part in the casting!

Hi Thomas,
After I found your painting I was curious about your TE-work too.
This could became a good painting too.

Hi Thomas.
Really curious this one. Day after day you post better photos, and this one is even very original. And I like it.
Is not your best photo and perhaps could be better, but still I like.
Regards.
